[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 34/35] sound/soc/codecs: Use kmemdup rather than duplicating its implementation

[Richard Fitzgerald]

Commit message title prefix should be "ASoC: wm0010:" not "sound/soc
/codecs:". Take a look at other patches to the same files.

> kmemdup is introduced to duplicate a region of memory in a neat way.
> Rather than kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy, which the programmer needs to
> write the size twice (sometimes lead to mistakes), kmemdup improves
> readability, leads to smaller code and also reduce the chances of mistakes.
> Suggestion to use kmemdup rather than using kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy.
